St. Flavie 2, Quebec, Canada

It is difficult to have meaningful, interesting or quality material to write about when you’ve practically nothing all day.  We are in for the night and ready to go to bed.  The wind is howling furiously outside and the trailer is rocking back and forth.  The people here are tough.  The motor home next to us has two couples staying in it and a couple of cars of other couples has joined them.  They are standing outside BBQing, drinking beer and hooping and hollering – I guess they are having a good time as the howling cold wind doesn’t seem to be phasing them at all.     PRC

We woke up to the smell of coffee, the feel of the cool ocean breeze and the sound of the waves. Bliss. No alarm clock, slept in late, no schedule.  Bliss.

We only did three activities to speak of. Our outside activity today was a trip to the grocery store. (We are going to the winery and submarine later in the week.) We are here for a week and do not want to do everything in one day.

Actually we went to two grocery stores because I forgot to buy pickles at the first one. These trips were actually little adventures. The location, packaging, pricing and language were all a fun challenge for us. We were not exactly sure we were getting what we wanted or at a good price due to the differences between pounds vs. kilograms, French vs. English, and the American dollar vs. Canadian dollar.  Who knew if we were getting a good deal? And different products also such as Tartinade  (Spread) Homard (Lobster). I had to have some lobster spread I enjoyed since our disappointing lobster dinner last night.  Thankfully the lobster spread was very tasty.

Drinks seemed to be in order since we had such a busy day. We went to the Restaurant Capitaine Homard for a glass of wine (JY) and a glass of beer (Peter).  No dinner.

After that we watched the sunset until it got too cold. More bliss.

We’ll probably have a similar day tomorrow  …. Bonne nuit.
